Highest bid 653 dollars

Bidding for the "Queen of Burnaby" closed in the afternoon of Jan 4, and the final price for the ship totalled $653,356.20 after taxes and fees. A total of 281 bids were entered on the auction website govdeals.ca. The ferry was currently mothballed in Richmond. According to the auction page, the "Queen of Burnaby" leaks hydraulic oil and is full of hazardous materials — including asbestos — so it's no longer fit for sailing. The ship was previously on it in Feb. 2017, but drew only a single bid for $425,000 plus taxes and fees.
The highest bidder will be evaluated by the ferry corporation.
